At the Golden Summit Hall, contention for the Void Mausoleum slots erupted once more.
Hundreds of geniuses, cultivated over many sixty-year cycles, gathered together. Their gazes burned like torches as they stared at the ten paragons standing at the entrance to the great hall. Of them all, Qin Ya drew the most attention.
Nearly every gaze—ninety-nine percent of them—was fixed on him.
Those gazes burned with fervor and greed, like hungry wolves staring down a lamb, desperate to pounce and swallow it whole.
BOOM, BOOM...
Just then, a deafening roar erupted from high above the great hall. The Heaven and Earth Primordial Qi surged violently, coalescing out of thin air into ten massive, golden arenas!
The great doors of the hall swung open slowly, revealing Ming Yue and the other Elders. Ming Yue surveyed the crowd and declared, "Let the challenges begin!"
As his voice faded, Qin Ya and the other nine shot up onto the arenas.
